The original Tic-Toc-Tach had resistors and capacitors which had +/- 20% tolerance and old style germanium junction transistors and volt meter (calibrated to read RPM) of the moving coil design and a +/- 10% accuracy......which accounts for the marginal overall accuracy. The new upgrades that use IC chips are much better but subject to the same meter design......JMO......

Keep in mind...
The OE tic/toc tach is not compatible with any type of electronic ignition system, only works correct with the analog OE ignition system.
The tach may register RPMs but it will not be accurate.
Just my $0.02...

In my experience the Tic Toc Tac in my '70 GTX was actually very close to being correct until hitting the 5,000 RPM mark....then it went on it's own journey. 
Yes....seat of the pants experience side-by-side with another known tachometer.

Contact rt-eng.com and see if their tach conversion module will work. it has a built-in calibration at 1,000 and 4,000 RPM.
